About this listen

When a high-ranking officer gallops into the quiet Mistyvales, he brings a warning that shakes the countryfolk to their roots. But to Aedan, a scruffy young adventurer with veins full of fire and a head full of ideas, this officer is not what he seems.

The events that follow propel Aedan on a journey that only the foolhardy or desperate would risk, eventually leading him to the gates of the nation’s royal academy – a whole world of secrets in itself.

But this is only the beginning of his discoveries. Something is stirring in the land, something more ominous than the rising threat of hostile nations. Fearful travellers whisper of an ancient power breathing over Thirna, changing it, waking it. In the very heart of these stirrings, Aedan encounters that which defies belief, leaving him speechless with terror – and wonder.

I enjoyed it immensely! I never found myself bored and the characters seem real, not just added to work the plot to particular points! Looking forward to the next book and I really hope it is at least a trilogy, there's enough of a foundation for 2 more at least with the way it's been written and told

One of my new favorites and probably will remain so for life

I thought that this was a book aimed only at young adult readers when I started listening. I thought, I paid for it, I might as well listen. by the end of the second hour, I was absolutely hooked! The narration was superb. The storyline has me now looking for the next in the series. It is a wonder to read a clean, wholesome story. I can wait to see this as a movie - NO - this book must be a series of movies. The depth of story is huge. A big thanks to all involved in its creation. THANKS HEAPS.

Make sure you get past page 21!
